The Accreditation Data System (ADS)
is an online service of the ACGME. Usernames, passwords, or any other piece of information
used as part of our security procedures must be treated as confidential and must
not be disclosed to any other person or entity. Sponsors and accredited programs
may only access and/or update their own organizational records. Users acknowledge
that information submitted to ADS through the application process or annual reporting
shall be accurate, complete, and truthful. Users are responsible for taking all
reasonable steps to ensure that no unauthorized person shall have access to their
ADS account and agree to immediately notify the ACGME of any need to deactivate
the account. The ACGME has the right to disable any username, password, or other
identifier, whether chosen by the user or provided by the ACGME, at any time if,
in our opinion, these Terms of Use were violated.

Attention, users running Chrome, Firefox or Safari with plugins or extensions.
If you are currently experiencing an incomplete User Interface (UI), please add
"acgme.org" domain to your ad blocking plugin/extension whitelist.
The reason for the page displaying without styles resides in the domain name having
"ads" ex: www.acgme.org/ads in which the plugin/extension
reacts to "Ads".

Access to the Accreditation Data System (ADS) is secured by an encryption certificate
obtained through the VeriSign Corporation. We use 128-bit SSL encryption to help
ensure the secure transfer of information. If you are using a less secure encryption
level you may experience difficulty and should upgrade.

The data you provide us will be used by ACGME for accreditation, will be maintained
confidentially, and will not be distributed for commercial use. Summary data and
other information about programs, institutions, resident physicians or resident
physician education which is not identifiable by person or organization may be published
in a manner appropriate to further the quality of GME and consistent with ACGME
policies and the law. Complete information about the use of the ADS can be found
in the ACGME Terms of Use.

The Resident Case Log System utilizes Common Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes.
The five character codes and descriptions included in the system are obtained from
CPT, copyright 2014 by the American Medical Association (AMA). CPT is developed
by the AMA as a listing of descriptive terms and five character identifying codes
and modifiers for reporting medical services and procedures.

ACGME Data Systems can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection via a computer
using Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac operating systems. To utilize current features
and future enhancements completely, please access our systems using one of the supported
web browsers listed below.

Note: Due to security concerns identified by Microsoft, ACGME will
no longer support Internet Explorer (IE) 8 beginning July 1, 2014. The discontinued
support of IE 8 will apply to the Resident Case Logs, Surveys, and the Accreditation
Data System.

All users are urged to upgrade to IE 9, at least, in order to take advantage of
its improved security features and stability. To upgrade, visit the IE downloads
page. ACGME will continue to support IE 9, as well as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome,
and Apple Safari.
